Feb 10, 2013

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT - The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's swimming team performed well on the final day of action at the three-day, New England Intercollegiate Swimming and Diving Association Championships, at the Upper Valley Aquatic Center Sunday.

The men finished the competition fourth in an 11-team field with 380 points, while the women finished sixth in a 19-team field with 606 points. The scores from next week's diving competition will be added to these scores to make them final and official.

Lowney posted an ECAC open "A" cut time with his fifth place finish in the 200 breaststroke, and he will compete in that event and in the 100 yard breaststroke at the ECAC Open Championships at Harvard March 1st and 2nd.

"We finished up strong in many events," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Cathy Motta. "I am proud of my team's performance and looking forward to see Phil (Lowney) race at the ECAC Open Championships against talented student-athletes from Divisions I, II and III at Harvard."

The Corsairs will participate in the NEISDA Division II and III Diving Championships at Plymouth State next weekend.
